Based on the data on this page, MegaCalendar is the stronger choice for most WordPress Plugin Directory merchants — 5.0★ vs Event-O-Matic's 3.5★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to MegaCalendar; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Event-O-Matic's 4-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than MegaCalendar's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

It depends on what you're optimizing for. Event-O-Matic fits better if you prioritize broader integrations; MegaCalendar is the call if you need the higher-rated option. Read both apps' detail pages on AppRanks for the full feature breakdown, install counts, and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory marketplace. MegaCalendar has more onboarding documentation maturity (30 reviews vs 4), which usually translates to better-tested setup wizards and quicker time-to-value. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for merchant-reported install experience.
Event-O-Matic typically suits early-stage and growth-mode stores based on its review-base composition (4 reviews). MegaCalendar aligns more with early-stage and growth-mode stores (30 reviews). Larger review bases generally mean the app has been load-tested at scale — relevant if you're processing high order volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Event-O-Matic and MegaCalendar both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Event-O-Matic" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
